Hello, I got an issue. I have a Room account Type in O365 which handles the scheduling, I retrieve the booking list from there and also is the one who has Zoom Room. the issue is that when a user books a meeting I Press join from the zoom room touch panel it says that I need to wait for the Host to start meeting. I know that you can deactivate **Wait for Host** but that sometimes won’t help in the environment that I’m installing ZR. **I’d like to know if there’s a way that if I invite the ZR account in the schedule, It make ZR Co-Host or main Host always.** Regards. ---

Hey @ghernandez, Have you tried setting the “Allow join before host” setting: [https://zoom.us/account/setting](https://zoom.us/account/setting) ![38%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/2X/b/b40411bfc6c9c423bc559a50d78a1eceb2f01306.png) This will start and make the Zoom Room join as the co host until the host joins. Let me know if this works! Thanks, Tommy ---
